Roma not interested in Fulham’s Bobb
Sporting director Tony D’Amico pivots to alternative attacking targets for manager Gian Piero Gasperini

AS Roma has formally dismissed speculation regarding a potential move for Fulham-owned Norwegian winger Oscar Bobb. The clarification comes after recent reports suggested the club was pursuing the 2003-born player to bolster its attacking lineup.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed the stance via his YouTube channel, stating that Bobb is not among the targets identified by the Giallorossi management. The dismissal effectively ends the immediate transfer rumours that had circulated regarding the Norwegian international.

With the pursuit of Bobb ruled out, the club’s recruitment focus has shifted. Sporting director Tony D’Amico is currently evaluating alternative attacking reinforcements for manager Gian Piero Gasperini, seeking to address the team's offensive needs through different channels.

Roma’s shortlist for potential signings now includes Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa and AC Milan’s Christopher Nkunku. Both players have been identified as key options on the club’s radar as D’Amico assesses the available market for attacking talent.

The identification of Nusa and Nkunku indicates a strategic pivot towards established players rather than the previously speculated interest in Bobb. The sporting director’s evaluation process remains ongoing as the club looks to finalise its squad composition for the upcoming season.
